Livingston G. Pew Hispanic Center. July 2010. Full report available at http://pewhispanic.org/files/reports/123.pdfThis report is based primarily on the 2009 National Survey of Latinos which was conducted August – September 2009 among a randomly selected, nationally representative sample of over 2000 Hispanics ages 16 and older. The survey was conducted in both English and Spanish, on both land lines and cell phones. The study showed that while 85% of native-born Latinos ages 16+ go online, only about half (51%) of foreign-born Latinos do so. Four of five (80%) of native-born Latinos use cell phones, while 72% of foreign-born Latinos do so. Rates of technology use for all Hispanics lag behind the use rates of the non-Hispanic population.
